Ultrasonic Object Detection Project The main aim of this system is to detect object that will be ahead of ultrasonic transducer. This application is very useful in areas like monitoring and also very useful in wild life photography. There are two main parts of the ultrasonic detector. First one is emitter that produces a 40kHz sound wave. Second one is detector that helps to detect 40kHz sound wave. This signal is then sent back to microcontroller. In this system the ultrasonic module is...
Nowadays, consumption of rice is increasing that leads to the greater demand in the production of it. After harvesting and shelling, husk remains and comes in great volume. Thus this rice husk is one of the big problems to be considered. Some studies suggested a solution to put rice husk ash as partial substitute to cement in concrete mixing in order to minimize the large quantity of rice husks build up as time goes by. Reinforced concrete is concrete in which reinforcing bars or other typ...

Company background and overview Anbessa City Bus Service Enterprise is the largest City Public Transportation Company in Ethiopia established immediately after the Italian invasion in 1943 by collecting old vehicles and garage equipment from the invader. At the time its name was Public Transport and guided by Italians and other foreigners. In 1952, it was organized in to a share company by getting legal entity from the government. At that particular year the enterprise had only 10 buses t...
Impact of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in Northern Nigeria: Ojie Moses Okim Department of ICT Cross River State University, Cross River Abstract The main constraints to the use of information and communications technology (ICT) in Northern Nigeria are identified, argued and related to the setting up of a common computerized system based on the National Bureau of Statistics’ (NBS) report which places mostly northe...
Abstract The main constraints to the use of information and communications technology (ICT) in Northern Nigeria are identified, argued and related to the setting up of a common computerized system based on the National Bureau of Statistics’ (NBS) report which places mostly northern states at the bottom of the list with exception of Kogi. Examples of existing technologies are given to provide guidelines as to how technology can successfully be used in Northern Nigeria despite the...
ABSTRACT This project report describes the design and construction of an electronic door lock which uses a microcontroller as the main control unit. The project’s objective was to interface this microcontroller with an LCD, keypad and a DC motor. However, programming the PIC chip to perform a task like identifying an authorised user is also among the objectives of this project. Codes were developed in assembly language, complied, debugged and downloaded to the PIC microcontroller. These cod...
Equipment development in Ghana to harvest oranges have over the years focused on simple units such as Garden tool, basket style picker etc. and common methods of harvesting oranges in Ghana are the use of manual branch shaking, manual pull with the hook stick. The effects leads to:Infestation of a bacteria called Alicyclobacillus when the fruits fall on the ground.The bacteria lives on the fruit which contaminates it.Bruises through impact on the hard surface.The main aim of this study is to ...
The Crude Oil Quality Group (COQG) is sponsoring this document as an informational tool to be usedby personnel in the petroleum industry. This document is intended to provide basic information on theeffects that certain crude oil contaminants have on refinery operations. COQG’s goal is for thisdocument to provide beneficial material to all parties involved in the crude oil supply chain - from thewellhead, to pipelines, and to the refinery gate.This initial document is intended to be the fir...
ABSTRACT In a study at KNUST weather station, the crop co-efficient values at initial, development, mid-season, and late season stages of ABONTEM MAIZE (hybrid variety) were determined as 0.42, 0.98, 1.05, and 0.32, respectively. These locally determined values of ABONTEM hybrid maize compared favourably with those recommended by FAO. The corresponding FAO values are 0.4, 0.80, 1.15, and 0.70. The FAO values are average values and recommended for a wide range of locations, but those dete...
ABSTRACT The Student Industrial Working Scheme (SIWES) is a program that was designed by the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) with the aim of aiding young science and engineering university students to have an experience of working in industries and companies based on their fields of study in order to extend their learning outside the classrooms and lecture halls. This is a report which contains information about my SIWES experience. It contains details on the company I worked in which wa...
Voice Over Internet Protocol: This Project is basically on making calls over a local area Network
ABSTRACT Nigeria’s dependence on conventional energy for power needs has been her undoing. Given the limited supply, and inherent dangers, her quest for electrical power self sufficiency has remained a dream. As the inhabitants of the world increases, pressure is placed on almost all the essential commodities for human satisfaction. The continuous supply of power from the national grid to industries and establishments has become a major problem thereby forcing some companies to go for gen...
Team Oil from [the] Soil is comprised of a group of senior chemical engineers at Calvin College who are proposing an alternative method to producing biodiesel. This alternative entails converting the oil found in seeds from the Jatropha Curcas plant into biodiesel. Team Oil from [the] Soil plans to design and optimize a full scale plant that extracts and converts the oil found in Jatropha Curcas seeds into a usable diesel fuel substitute. In addition to this, the team plans to build a simpl...
This project envisages the establishment of a plant for the production of high fructose corn syrup with a capacity of 6,000 tons per annum. The country`s requirement of corn syrup is met through import. The present (2013) demand for syrup is estimated at 5,000 tons. The demand for the product is projected to reach 8,858 tones and 14,266 tons by the year 2018 and year 2023, respectively. The principal raw materials required are starch, alpha-amylase, gluco-amaylase, and glucose isomerase. St...
